When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0050] Embodiment 1:

[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a locking pin mechanism is applied to the backrest of a car seat, and mainly includes: a mounting body 1, a locking pin module 2, a driving bracket 3, a first elastic member 4, a second elastic member 5 and a cable 6.

[0052] The installation body 1 is provided with a slide groove 11 and a lock groove 12 which are connected to each other. Specifically, the slide groove 11 is arranged in the vertical direction and is a long groove. The lock groove 12 is preferably arranged in an arc groove, and the lock groove 12 is arranged at the top of the slide groove 11, that is, the lock groove 12 is connected to the top of the slide groove 11, and the lock groove 12 is arranged obliquely relative to the slide groove 11.

[0053] The lock pin module 2 is rotatably arranged on the installation body 1, and the lock pin module 2 has an unfolded position and a folded position on the installation body 1, and a first elastic member 4 is arranged between the lock pin module 2 and the installation body 1. Specifically, the lock pin module 2 includes a rotating shaft 21, a rotating bracket 22 and a lock pin 23, the rotating bracket 22 and the lock pin 23 are both arranged on the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating bracket 22 and the lock pin 23 are both fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably arranged on the installation body 1, and specifically, a circular hole is respectively arranged on the front and rear mounting plates of the installation body 1, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably arranged in the two circular holes. Among them, the first elastic member 4 is preferably a first torsion spring, the first torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 21, and one torsion arm of the first torsion spring is against the mounting body 1, and the other torsion arm of the first torsion spring is against the locking pin 23. During actual use, the torsion force of the first torsion spring can drive the locking pin module 2 to rotate and switch from the folded position to the unfolded position, that is, when the locking pin module 2 is switched to the folded position, the torsion force of the first torsion spring can drive the locking pin module 2 to reset.

[0054] It should be explained that when the lock pin module 2 is in the deployed position, the lock pin 23 is approximately horizontal and extends from the side of the installation body 1. At this time, the lock pin 23 can be fixedly connected to the second backrest 8 to fix the second backrest 8 on the first backrest 7. When the lock pin module 2 is in the folded position, the lock pin 23 rotates downward approximately 90 degrees, and the lock pin 23 is folded onto the installation body 1. The lock pin 23 is in a fully folded state, ensuring that it does not protrude from the first backrest 7, thereby ensuring that there is no risk of collision or accidental injury to passengers, and the safety performance is good.

[0055] The driving bracket 3 is connected to the locking pin module 2, and the driving bracket 3 can drive the locking pin module 2. Specifically, the upper end of the driving bracket 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 22 in the locking pin module 2 through a connecting member 31, and the connecting member 31 is preferably a connecting screw. A sliding structure 30 is provided at one end of the driving bracket 3 away from the rotating bracket 22. The sliding structure 30 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 11 and the lock groove 12. The sliding structure 30 of this embodiment is preferably a screw, which is detachably arranged at the lower end of the driving bracket 3, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and is simple to assemble with the slide groove 11 or the lock groove 12.

[0056] A second elastic member 5 is provided between the driving bracket 3 and the locking pin module 2. Specifically, the second elastic member 5 is preferably a second torsion spring, which is sleeved on the connecting member 31, and one torsion arm of the second torsion spring abuts against the driving bracket 3, and the other torsion arm of the second torsion spring abuts against the rotating bracket 22. When the locking pin module 2 is in the deployed position, the sliding structure 30 is in the lock slot 12, and the elastic force of the second elastic member 5 can keep the sliding structure 30 in the lock slot 12, thereby keeping the locking pin module 2 in the deployed position, which is equivalent to when the locking pin module 2 is in the deployed position, the sliding structure 30 is locked in the lock slot 12, and the locking pin module 2 remains in the deployed position and cannot rotate downward, and the sliding structure 30 cannot be separated from the lock slot 12 without applying a downward pulling force on the cable 6.

[0057] It should be explained that the lock slot 12 is arranged in an arc groove, and when the elastic force of the second elastic member 5 keeps the sliding structure 30 in the lock slot 12, the sliding structure 30 abuts against the side wall of the lock slot 12. The sum of the force of the second elastic member 5 acting on the sliding structure 30 and the friction force of the sliding structure 30 on the side wall of the slide slot 11 is greater than the external force acting on the sliding structure 30, so that the sliding structure 30 is locked in the lock slot 12. When the cable 6 applies a downward pulling force, it overcomes the above-mentioned friction force and the force of the second elastic member 5, so that the sliding structure 30 is unlocked, and the lock pin module 2 can be rotated and switched to the folded state.

[0058] In addition, a cable 6 is disposed in the middle of the driving bracket 3. Pulling the cable 6 can drive the sliding structure 30 to slide from the locking groove 12 into the sliding groove 11, that is, unlocking the sliding structure 30, so that the locking pin module 2 can be switched to the folded position. Specifically, when the cable 6 is pulled to rotate the driving bracket 3 and the sliding structure 30 slides to the bottom end of the sliding groove 11, the locking pin module 2 is in the folded position, and the locking pin 23 is completely folded onto the installation body 1.

[0059] In actual use, this embodiment is provided with a slide groove 11 and a lock groove 12 on the installation body 1, and a sliding structure 30 is provided on the drive bracket 3. When the lock pin module 2 is in the deployed position, under the action of the second elastic member 5, the sliding structure 30 is firmly maintained in the lock groove 12, and will not detach from the lock groove 12 and slide into the slide groove 11. Therefore, when receiving external force, the lock pin 23 can remain stationary, thereby effectively reducing the shaking of the backrest. In other words, the second elastic member 5, the drive bracket 3, and the sliding structure 30 cooperate with the lock groove 12 to form a lock pin 23 holding structure, so that the support rigidity of the lock pin 23 is more sufficient, which can well solve the problem that the second backrest 8 is easy to shake during road testing, and the user experience is better.

[0060] Embodiment 2:

[0061] like Figure 5-Figure 6 And combined Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a car seat mainly includes:

[0062] A seat (not shown in the figure);

[0063] The first backrest 7 and the second backrest 8 are arranged side by side on the seat portion and can rotate relative to the seat portion. Specifically, a rotation center axis 780 is arranged on the seat portion, and the first backrest 7 and the second backrest 8 can rotate around the rotation center axis 780;

[0064] And the locking pin mechanism in the first embodiment is arranged on the first backrest 7, and the mounting body 1 is fixedly connected to the first backrest 7. When the locking pin module 2 is in the deployed position, the locking pin mechanism can fix the second backrest 8 to the first backrest 7, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the second backrest 8;

[0065] Among them, a rotating sleeve 80 is arranged on the second backrest 8, and the end of the cable 6 away from the driving bracket 3 is connected to the rotating sleeve 80; when the second backrest 8 is rotated and folded relative to the seat alone (that is, the first backrest 7 is not rotated and folded at this time), the rotating sleeve 80 pulls the driving bracket 3 through the cable 6.

[0066] The folding working principle of this car seat backrest is:

[0067] During normal use, the first backrest 7 and the second backrest 8 are both in an upright state, and the lock pin module 2 is in an extended state, the lock pin 23 extends from the side of the first backrest 7 to the second backrest 8, and the second backrest 8 is fixedly connected to the lock pin 23, so that the second backrest 8 is fixedly connected to the first backrest 7, and the structural stability of the second backrest 8 is ensured. At this time, the sliding structure 30 is in the lock slot 12, and the second torsion spring, the driving bracket 3, the sliding structure 30 and the lock slot 12 cooperate, so that the sliding structure 30 cannot be separated from the lock slot 12, and the lock pin module 2 is locked in the extended state, so that the support rigidity of the lock pin 23 is better, which can effectively solve the problem of the second backrest 8 shaking during the road test.

[0068] When the second backrest 8 needs to be rotated forward and folded alone, the second backrest 8 rotates forward along the rotation center axis 780, and the rotation sleeve 80 rotates accordingly, the rotation sleeve 80 pulls the cable 6 downward, the cable 6 pulls the driving bracket 3, the sliding structure 30 on the driving bracket 3 disengages from the lock slot 12, and slides into the slide slot 11. During the rotation of the driving bracket 3, the locking pin module 2 is driven to rotate around the center of the rotating shaft 21 until the sliding structure 30 reaches the lower end of the slide slot 11, the locking pin module 2 switches to the folded position, and the locking pin 23 is completely folded onto the installation body 1. When the tension of the cable 6 is released, the first elastic member 4 and the second elastic member 5 can help the locking pin module 2 to reset.
